Chapter Seventeen

Jade's POV

I was biting my nails as I paced back and fourth in my room because of so much nervousness that's been eating me these past few days. Saan ko ba hahanapin ang isang Kyle Fajardo? Ugh, shit. This is giving me a serious headache. Doon kaya sa usual place niya? But I doubt it, eversince kasi na nag-away kami eh inaabangan ko kung pupunta siya doon but unfortunately, ay hindi.

This is driving me insane, saan ko puwedeng hanapin ang isang iyon? It has been a week, fuck this and I haven't heard anything from him! Damn it, why is he being so stubborn? I tried texting him, called him even God knows how many times! I...said sorry nang paulit-ulit kahit pa ang mga calls ko ay dumidiretso lang lahat sa voicemail.

I heaved a sigh, fuck this. Nag-aalala na ako! Baka kung anong maisip nung gawin. This is all my fault, shit. Shit. Umupo ako sa kama ko, kumuha ng unan at sinubsob ang mukha ko doon sa inis.

"Argh," I whined like a kid. Bahala na! Kinuha ko 'yung cell phone ko na binato ko kanina-kanina pa at natagpuan ito sa ilalim ng unan. I searched for Zach's number and luckily, he picked up after three rings.

"Hello Zach!" Oh shit, I sounded way too eager. Darn.

"Hello, uh Jade? What's with the tone?" huminga muna ako nang malalim at napapikit.

"I-I.." I bit my lip, I couldn't even bring out the words in my mouth! Can someone tell me how am I supposed to deal with this feeling? Mababaliw ako kapag may nangyaring masama sa lalaking iyon!

"Is this about Kyle? Jade, I'm just confused as you are, isang linggo nang hindi nagpaparamdaman ang kaibigan ko na 'yon! Damn that fucker won't even answer my calls!" Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa telepono, so Zach and I were just in the same boat. Mas lalo akong nainis!

"By any chance... do you know any place na puwedeng puntahan nun? Because I am so damn worried and I don't think I'll be able to get a shut eye with him missing for almost a week! This..This is my entire fault." I was basically being frantic as fuck while talking to him and I heard his sharp intake of breath nang dahil sa pagbabago sa tono ng boses ko.

I'm not used to expressing myself so much in the first place so I take this would be a shocker to him. Pero ilang beses niya nanaman akong nakitang umiyak so I don't mind at all. Geez, wala na akong oras para intindihin pa ang kung anong tingin niya sa akin.

"I know a place, but it's too dangerous. Pati isa pa, matagal na kaming hindi pumupunta ni Kyle doon kaya—"

"Tell me the place! Pupunta ako!" hindi ko na siya pinatapos pa sa kabilang linya at agad na napatayo pagkasabi niyang may alam siyang lugar.

"What, no! Ano ka ba, kasasabi ko lang na delikado ah?!" Ugh what the fuck! He needs to stop wasting my time. May alam naman pala siyang pupwedeng puntahan ng abnormal na iyon eh bakit hindi niya tignan kung nandun nga ito?!
